There is something so intimate and interesting about rituals. Having a routine sets the foundation when starting and ending the day.

After pressing the snooze button a few times, I look forward to my morning coffee or sometimes tea. Eating something sweet and savory for breakfast is quite a delight too.

Then off to the shower to wake up and rinse my curls. Finally, after hair/makeup, and some delicious perfume, it is off to my daily grind.

Jam out to the latest tunes on the radio and do the 9-5 hustle dance. Joy for the afternoon because it is lunchtime. The work day is ending. Time to sweat out any frustrations at the gym or to simply regain focus.

Maybe some television, a book chapter later, with a hot tea. A diary entry and nightly prayers to gives thanks for another day.
